These replaced the original Forteras. Much better riding, much quieter at highway speeds. I would not use these for serious off-roading, but they will do mild stuff okay, just don't rock climb with them.

After putting on 32,xxx miles on these tires, I'm still showing 56% treadlife remaining. I do regular balance/rotates and alignments (when needed.) These tires have been nothing but great! The packed snow tracking isn't great, as the tire is so aggressive, but hey if that's the only downfall I'm find with it. I live in WI, where we have heavy and light winters. This tire has been good to me! I've pulled a few nails/screws out of them even, without puncture! I love the look. Best A/T tire out there IMO. Even with the threat of the severe snow rating being erased from these tires (government law), they still perform great in snow! My driving is mostly highway/city, and sometimes off-road. They perform well in all situations, though in heavy mud, these tires don't necessarily clean themselves well... Will buy again!

I'm on my second set of REVO's the first set I had was on a 2wd dodge ram xtended cab longbed. These tires worked great on that truck, I got about 50K miles out of them. Now I have a set on a 98 RAM 4x4, and with regular rotation they should last a while. It's hard to gauge wear because I have snowplow on this truck and I tow a lot, including farm use off road. I don't expect to get 50K with this kind of punishment. These are great in snow, and better than average on ice. Mud is not a problem when in 4 wheel drive. I don't go offroad seeking mud, so my experience is limited to having to go through a sippee hole on the farm that I can't find another way around. Road nosie is slightly noticeable around 45 mph, but at 55 to 75 you can't hear them over the wind noise. The ride is better than average for an all terrain tire. They aren't Michelin's afterall. I bought them for their traction and lack of obscene road noise. The don't seem to adversley impact gas mileage either. I will continue to buy these as long as the driving habbits warrant an all terrain tire. I woudl nto buy these for somethign that never goes off road. I run Michelin LTX M/S2's on the wife's suburban, which never goes off road.

This is a great tire, but I can find this tire much cheaper at my local tire dealer. Bridgestone/Firestone have made a great economy tire to compete against some of the lesser brands. Most of the Fuzions still carry the Uni-T technology that Bridgestone/Firestone offer. To the user at the bottom. . . It's a "HIGHWAY" tire for a reason. It isn't meant for off-road ventures. Maybe you should do a little more research before you buy next time!

I upgraded from my stock 225-75-16 (29x8) GoodYear Wrangler HT all season radials to these 265-75-16 31.7x10.5) Duratracs on my 4-door Jeep Wrangler. Amazing the difference the right tire makes. Although I am still within stock size tire for the Wrangler the additional overall height and width looks and performs much better in off-road driving. I do a lot of trails/woods, occasional mud puddles, gravel and spend quite a bit of time 4-wheelin on loose beach sand. These tires have awesome grip in all situations and all I have to do is point them and they go. I know there is a lot of talk about tire pressure, I found 35.5 gives me a decent ride, MPG is still wthin range of the all-season tires that were on there and I have never felt these tires causing a loss of control at speeds up to 75MPH. They stay true to the road, no drifting or pulling, I am very pleased with them for an all around tire on a Wrangler which is my daily driver. There is just enough hum on the highway to know the tire means business but the sound is devinetly not intrusive even when driving with top and doors off. I mounted them white letters in on black pro comp wheels and they look as great as they perform.

I use my 2011 xTerra Pro-4X as a daily driver and very hard offroading. These tires are AMAZING. Thanks to these tires, I do trails and rock crawling that others did not think an xTerra could do. I have absolutely punished these tires on trails and rocks, and they have performed great- no punctures, no rips, no block chipping, no chunking. IF YOU WANT AN AGGRESSIVE, STRONG, RELIABLE, AND GREAT LOOKING OFF-ROAD TIRE THIS IS IT!

Years ago I had a work truck, Chevy Silverado 2wd that I used in residential construction. I was SO impressed with this tire overall that when my '09 Dodge Ram 4x4 hit 40,000 miles the factory GY Wrangler HP's were toast. It is shamefull that a loaded 4x4 truck came with a glorified passenger tire, but it did and I never liked them. Sure the ride on dry paved road was smooth/quiet but thats it. Every other area of performance was awful. Even after siping it was only marginaly better in the rain. The reason I'm giving a history lesson is b/c if you have a Ram with the 20" rims sooner or later you will be reading reviews and looking for a real truck tire. This tire is it, stop looking and buy these! I'm still in the construction business and this truck is 50-50 work/personal use. It handles all aspects of paved road and is still very quiet rolling, smooth ride etc. At job sites no problem, personal use is frequent long road trips...once again VERY quiet and no MPG loss. I like the squared up shoulder blocks which help traction, add strength and just plain look good. We camp and I have no worries taking this thing off the road and on graded paths at preserves/state parks. With the HP's I was always worried about every small branch/foilage in our path. Although we don't do any "off-roading" you wont have problems with small rocks etc. I am less worried about a puncture now. There are a lot of tires on the market, if you want a solid tire firmly between a passenger/highway only tire and a mongo-mudder this is it. No regrets!

This tire came stock on my Wrangler Unlimited Sport with the "S" package. I will say it's not bad for a stock tire for city/highway driving. I never experienced any hydroplaning in wet weather that some have mentioned. However, this is NOT an all-terrain tire as the Jeep site suggests. That becomes quickly apparent off-road.

It was passable on hard dirt, but loose dirt no. It does "ok" on dirt roads with a thin layer of fresh snow, but once it gets deep and/or slush & muddy.........traction goes out the door. Going downhill in 4L with no gas pedal and in 1st gear, the rear slipped a few inches on me the last outing going down a slushy muddy hill. To their credit, they amazingly had 30 minutes before made it UP the hill with no issue but you could feel that they were pushing the limits hard.

Basically, the short & sweet is if you are not going off-road and don't care about having street tires on your Wrangler, these are fine. If you are going to go off-road though you should really look for a good A/T or M/T tire.

I have these (in p-metric version) on a mildly modified 4Runner (V6) that is carrying the added weight of aftermarket skid plates, control arms, steel wheels, and recovery gear. The Destination ATs look pretty tame but have been through winters in RI, winter driving in ME, offroading in ME, and beach driving in RI and OBX. They've been unstoppable -- kept up with highly modified rigs with MT tires on Bill Burke excursions in the back woods (e.g. way beyond fire access roads) driving over rocks, logs, stumps, etc. at 18 psi. Been cautious in mud, but driven in water up to top of bumper without issue. Soft sand never a problem when appropriately aired down. They ride smoothly and quietly on the highway with no problems when wet or dry at 38 psi. Rotated every 5-7,000 miles. Still have decent tread after approximately 35,000 miles. I highly recommend them and will more than likely get another set in future (although contemplating going from 265/70/17 to 255/75/17 next time).

These tire can handle light off-roading with small light weight SUV (<3,500). I drove in Hollister SVRA during rainy weather, it does very well on beginner trail and OK in intermediate trail. I'd never got stuck in mud neither, however, mud will get caught in the threads so be careful.

Highway handling is super and brings confidence, very good road grip. The tires never slipped before in all my time driving. I have driven through highway curves at 60 mph downhill and hardly ever have to hit the brakes.

Excellent on wet roads. I once drove in heavy rain and ran into a large puddle on the interstate at 55 mph. I didn't losses control, but I think I hydroplane a little and scared the crap out of the drivers behind me. The water blinded my windshield for about 2 seconds, it was one -------- of a splash.

I installed a set of Dueler A/T's at 35,000 miles and they needed replacing at 95,000 miles, which I was very satisfied with. The Alenza's were a huge change. They have a softer side-wall than the A/T's, and don't have the aggressive tread pattern so they are much quieter and ride better. Their wet traction is great (just as good at the Duelers) and their tread wear has been very good. The tires are barely showing any wear, and I have not had to balance them yet either. I would purchase these again (even though they are expensive.) I can't comment on their off-road ability. They are much better than the stock Goodyear Wranglers that came on the truck and had to be replaced at 35,000 miles because they were very poor in the rain (even with plenty of tread left on them).

I bought these tires because of the reviews here and I could not be happier. Honestly these tires have lasted longer and performed better than any other tire I have owned. I use to only buy Michelin and BFG but these have outperformed both. I have driven through 2 feet of snow and all over the beaches in North Carolina with these and never been stuck. These tires have exceeded my expectations. The only thing that I wish they did a little bit better is throw mud from the tread. When mudding it would be helpful. I know you may laugh because I am using my Acura to do the things I do but I buy a SUV to use and abuse not just look good. The factory Michelin had to be changed at 43,000. Which is ok but these Grabber ATs did so much better. I could probably get another 5,000 miles out of them but I go offroad too much so I am going to replace them.

These tires are amazing off-road and will take anything I throw at them. They are really good on the road as well. The only issue I can see is when it snows. I have heard that if I get them siped it would help them in the snow. Overall I am very please with the BFG KM2 and will be buying 5 more when these wear out.

I was introduced to these tires when I had my current truck lifted by the off-road shop here in California. I was slightly hesitant because I hadn't previously tried them but trusted the advice of the shop owner. Thankfully, I haven't been the least bit disappointed! This is my third set of these AT tires and I've driven close to 150,000 miles between all 3 sets. Since I have a 3/4 ton 4x4 truck I have driven through just about every weather condition (even a white-out blizzard in Utah) and towed numerous 10,000lb loads with these tires. This is my 4th lifted truck and by far my favorite tires compared to Nittos, BFGs and Toyos. This tire has always been VERY quite on the freeway, capable on dirt roads, done excellent in sand at low tire pressure and ALWAYS wears evenly ( no cupping or scallaping of treads).

After reading the reviews for this tire, both good and bad, I thought I'd try them myself. I do a lot of daily driving on country roads, and some mild-medium off-roading. Also have taken them into some decent snow and ice. Never once had any of the problems some of the other reviews talked about, no mushiness, no load-bearing issues (and I've overloaded my bed with firewood, to the point of flattening out my springs), no issues at all.

I don't hardly notice the road noise unless on the freeway, wet weather is outstanding, and the snow/ice was no problem at all. I haven't taken them off-road into rocky area's, but in muddy areas, they were just as good as my "mud tire" that I replaced. I just wish I knew how they do as far as wear goes, I haven't had them long enough to have worn much off, they are still at brand-new depth after 1000 miles.

Initial Review, 500 Miles on Tires
August 01, 2011

As you can see, I have only 500 miles on this tire and it is summer. I will definitely update this review following the hunting/winter season this year to give a better review. However, I just thought it appropriate to give my thoughts on this tire right now as well. First of all, I am so happy with the way my Jeep 65 Liberty looks with these tires on them. I went with the alternate stock tire: 235, 70, 16. First of all, I would like to say that this tire looks 100% better than the factory 225, 75, 16 JunkYear Wrangler. The width of the tire gives the Jeep an excellent stance b/c the tire is much wider. Secondly, I think the trail-rated Jeep finally looks like a Jeep. A tire with an aggressive tread pattern is a must for a Jeep! I would say that the tire is performing absolutely amazing at this juncture. I have only had it on dry and rainy surfaces, but the tire performed very well in the rain. The friend that I had put the tire on said that I would not be disappointed and he was right so far. As for road noise...I'd say the noisiest the tire is is when you are traveling between 25-45. Above 45, I actually found the tire to be very quiet early on. I am thinking that the off-road performance (for what I do)will be very solid. Overall, 500 miles in...I think this tire finally makes my Jeep look a little tough and it is a fantastic tire...I 100% recommend this tire to anyone thinking about something with a little more aggressiveness for their Jeep Liberty. I think you will NOT be disappointed...I'll write a further review following the winter season...but once again...you'll love the tire if you get it in my opinion!

I agree with other reviewers about how LOUD these tires get once they wear down to 60 percent. Sounds like you're driving on offroad tires. Buyer beware, these tires are horrible and a waste of money. I removed them from my RX8 with 60 percent tread life still on them cuz I just could not handle the drowning noise they make.
